A physical exam is a health screening provided by a trained medical professional. There are various types of physical exams, each designed to check a certain range of health functions.
Annual physical exams play a central role in your overall health and wellness. These visits are usually brief. During the initial portion of your exam, you will discuss your personal and family health history, as well as any concerns you have.
A check of your vital signs comes next, including:
Your doctor also assesses the appearance of your skin and complete a quick head and neck exam.
Annual physical exams build a medical record that tracks shifts or changes in your overall health and wellness. That data allows your provider to identify potential areas of concern before a serious medical issue arises and empowers you to take action to enhance or preserve your health.
There are also times when you need a physical exam for a specific purpose, like starting a new job or if your child is planning to play organized youth sports.
Chicago Immediate Care offers a range of physical exams to ensure you stay on track with your health and have the documentation needed to participate in new activities.
School physicals
If your child is preparing to start school or has transferred to a new school, a school physical may be required. These visits provide an overview of your child’s health and development. A review of their immunization record is also part of a school physical.
Sports physical
A sports physical is usually required each time your child plans to participate in organized youth sports, whether through their school or a community organization. These visits include an assessment of your child’s health to ensure they are able to withstand the rigors of their new activity.
DOT physical
Men and women planning to work for the Department of Transportation will need to complete a DOT physical prior to employment. These exams check your general health, eyesight, hearing, and neurological function to ensure you are healthy enough to operate a commercial vehicle.
Employment or executive physicals
Certain jobs require a physical as part of the employment process. These exams include an overview of your health and can also include specific health checks requested by your new employer. Drug screening is often part of an employment physical.
